PORT-A-BACH
STATEMENT AND HISTORY
Atelierworkshop believe up-cycling containers can be an effective
answer for large scale projects and if portability, site access,
robustness, security are issues. The Port-a-Bach prototype was
built in Hangzhou, China and shipped to New Zealand. It is now
part of the permanent collection of Puke Ariki Museum, New Plymouth.
We have also developed prototypes of fittings that use the existing
container connections to attached solar and wind equipment.
Atelierworkshop's Port-a-Bach is not in production but we do accept commissions to design customized container building solutions .
